It fits a 5\/32 inch (0.1563 inch decimal) shaft diameter and holds position through four prongs that grip the shaft surface directly. The ring is made from SAE 1060-1090 steel with a phosphate finish that provides basic corrosion resistance and surface lubricity. At 0.010 inch thick with a free outside diameter of 0.397 inches, this ring is suited for compact assemblies where space is limited. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and precision equipment technicians typically install this part in light-duty industrial and commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis retaining ring is used in assemblies where shaft grooving is impractical or where fast, tool-reduced installation is required. The self-locking prong design allows the ring to be pushed onto a shaft without specialty pliers, making it a practical choice for high-volume assembly lines, small motor shafts, pump components, and instrumentation hardware. The valid shaft diameter range runs from 0.152 inch minimum to 0.160 inch maximum, ensuring a secure fit across that tolerance band. It meets SAE 1060-1090, UNS G10600-G10900, and ISO 13485:2015 standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-locking four-prong design installs without a grooved shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaft diameter range: 0.152 to 0.160 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree outside diameter: 0.397 inches with tolerance of -0.005 to 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing thickness: 0.010 inches with tolerance of -0.001 to 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness rated at 84-86 HR15N for consistent spring-back performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhosphate finish for surface protection and reduced galling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets SAE 1060-1090, UNS G10600-G10900, and ISO 13485:2015 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on shafts with a nominal diameter of 5\/32 inch (0.1563 inch).

Ensure the shaft is clean and within the specified diameter tolerance before pressing the ring into position. No shaft groove is required, but the shaft surface must be free of burrs or surface defects that could impair prong engagement. Verify thrust load requirements against rated capacity before finalizing installation in load-bearing assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External Self-Locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Diameter (Nominal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inch (0.1563 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Shaft Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.152 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Shaft Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.160 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.397 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.005 to 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Thickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.001 to 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 1060-1090 Steel (UNS G10600-G10900)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Phosphate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 84-86 HR15N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Prongs\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThrust Load Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 46 to 70 (units per manufacturer specification)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 1060-1090, UNS G10600-G10900, ISO 13485:2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ROTOR CLIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TX-15ST PA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ROTOR CLIP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714295726386,"sku":"TX-15ST PA","price":718.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c69d9cf47677202d7eb60370aa22012f_50dbecf2-43dc-4717-a784-ee5e49ae7427.jpg?v=1788498984","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rotor-clip-tx-15st-pa-retaining-ring-5-32-inch-shaft","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
